Cheesy Masala Capsicum Sandwich

Wishing all my reader's a very Happy Valentine's Day!!! The Whole Blogging World is brimming with Loads of Valentine's day Recipes, Lots of Bakes, Sweets, but i chose to post a Simple, yet Filling Breakfast recipe.

As my readers most of you might have noticed, that these days i m posting a lot of sandwich recipes, Mostly because, Mornings are damn crazy, my little one wakes up along with me, so half the time he will be clinging to me while i am cooking!! 🙂 When i put him on his swing chair, he will play for 10 minutes, after that it is Dolby!!!! So, i need to stop whatever i m doing and go attend to him. So, with me running crazy these days, i try to keep the work @ the kitchen to the minimum. So, Sandwiches are real life-savers!!!

Ingredients (makes 4 sandwiches)

For the Filling

2 Medium Capsicums, thinly sliced

1 medium Onion, finely chopped

1 tablespoon tomato paste ( i used store-bought) or one small ripe tomato

½ teaspoon red chili powder

½ teaspoon coriander powder

¼ teaspoon garam masala powder

¼ teaspoon mustard seeds

¼ teaspoon cumin seeds

1-2 teaspoon oil

hing, turmeric each a pinch

salt to taste

Sandwich

8 Slices of Brown Bread (Sandwich bread/White Bread/Wholemeal Bread)

4 slices of Cheddar cheese (i used low-fat)

Method

Filling

Heat a pan oil, splutter mustard seeds, add cumin. After cumin crackles, add hing, turmeric and onion, saute until translucent.
Next add tomato paste, ¼ Cup of water and all the dry masala powders and cook till the oil separates.
Add the thinly sliced capsicums and Mix well. Adjust Salt, cover and cook for 3-4 minutes. We dont want to make the capsicums mushy. Take it off the flame.

Assembling the sandwich

Place a Cheese slice on a bread slice, top it with 1 or 2 teaspoon of the filling and close it with another bread slice.
Heat a Tawa, toast the Sandwich crisp on both the sides. Cut it diagonally into four and Serve.
